this month’s R&B show is an absolute corker with tracks by the Rolling Stones, Bo Diddley, Son House & Muddy Waters.  Onur featured album is ‘The White Stripes’ debut album and the theme is ‘Punk’.  With tracks recorded live in the studio here by local bands ‘The Hot Tamarles’ and ‘Gas Station’ you would be mad to miss it.  Tune it Thurs at 8.00 p.m. and then repeated Sat at 7.00 p.m.

You can find the podcast on our Facebook and Twitter pages right now. (If you can’t see the update give it a minute then just refresh your page)

We are talking about MARCO MENDOZA, who is a current member of Thin Lizzy and who has toured as part of Whitesnake and with Ted Nugent, and DANNY VAUGHN, singer with Tyketto and the Ultimate Eagles.

Marco Mendoza live on stage

We met up with Marco in a rock club called the Diamond, just outside Mansfield. Marco was delighted to be over in the UK playing his solo work and featured songs from his new album, ‘Live for Tomorrow’. He plays a mean bass guitar but we were blown away by his singing. The man can sure sing a mean tune!

Marco was kind enough to talk to us before the show and in the interview you will hear him describe his love for his music. He is touring with Thin Lizzy at the moment, supporting Guns and Roses around the UK. This is no trbute band to Thin Lizzy. This is the same band that was around back in the 70′s and the 80′s with 3 of the original members. Marco is confident that there will be new Thin Lizzy material available in the near future, something every music fan will surely be looking forward to.

Thin Lizzy will be doing their own headlining tour of the UK in November/December this year and we are hoping to see them in Nottingham’s Rock City. Details can be found on their website.

On this week’s show we feature some of Marco’s solo work plus examples of him on stage with Whitesnake with David Coverdale and of course with Ted Nugent.

The first half of the show is a tribute to the masters of soft melodic rock and the creators of some of the finest songs ever constructed, The Eagles. They were a true cross-over band. They performed rock, ballads, country and western but whatever style they chose, the musicianship and songwriting was second to none.

Danny Vaughn is a massive Eagles fan and he is a member of The Ultimate Eagles who pay due reverence to the songs and music of the Eagles. We spoke to Danny who gave us an in-depth interview about why the Eagles songs still endure today.

The Ultimate Eagles

The Ultimate Eagles consist of a collection of world class session musicians in their own right who have got together to have fun and to rise to the challenge of recreating live on stage songs that took the Eagles months to record and perfect. Having seen them play live we can tell you that the Ultimate Eagles really do the business on stage. all are amazing musicians and vocally they are nothing short of perfect.

Danny was pleased to tell us that his band Tyketto have released a new album, the first for 18 years and we feature some tracks on our show.

You may have noticed that during the past week or so the show podcast wasn’t put up. The reason being that I just haven’t had time, with exams coming up my free time is so limited (Also last week Megan took my memory stick home -_- ). So the podcast is going to be rather hit or miss until near the end of May.

To make up for it though I do plan to do a podcast that WILL NOT be broadcast live on Siren, so for those podcast listeners that have been missing out can enjoy something a little extra to make up for the loss of shows.

Other than that I will still be on live Tuesday 3-4 (This week only) and then 3-5 on all of the other shows. Hope to hear from you then!
